Those of you who read my “I’m back!” post a few weeks ago might recall that I put my ’51 Fender 5A3 TV front Deluxe up for sale. It sold last Saturday, store check for $3k arrived today.
I bought it used in 1971 for $50 (about $360 in 2022 $$), so not so bad a profit, all things considered …
I just pulled the trigger on a Takamine TC132SC, an all solid wood cutaway electric/acoustic classical guitar. Most places retail at $1,549, but I found a floor model for $1,015.82 with no tax and free shipping—so I won’t get that sinking feeling when I ding it for the first time!

More pics and a review when it arrives …

I'm so happy!

Solid rosewood back, solid cedar top, rosewood fb....
That guitar should sound pretty nice. Great reviews out there.
As long as your ready to accept that thats gonna cost you about 18$ of your 1971 50$ investment.

Congrats.

Good deals both ways!

I like the old Fender amps, but a '51 Deluxe is an acquired taste. Sounds like it served you well.

IMHO, you cannot go wrong with a Takamine. I bought an EF340-S brand new in 1985 (a martin D-28 copy w/solid spruce top and electronics) and it has served me well over the years.
